We will keep our issue advocacy as well, of course: defending immigrants, standing up to hate crimes, fighting for health care & reproductive rights, combating climate change, and more. But to make real progress, we know we need to take the fight to the ballot box as well.

GOBK’s Civic Activism working groups (who have been doing electoral work for the past year) will talk about what they’ve learned — and what they are doing in the year ahead. And we’ll talk about some top-tier #GetOrganizedBK electoral priorities for U.S. Congress and the New York State Senate.

We will also make a few minutes to talk about the next steps for #GetOrganizedBK. We’re grateful to all of you who took our survey this fall. A group of #GOBK working group leaders have been meeting to think about how we can work together best in the future, and we are eager to share those thoughts and get your feedback.

And, of course, our working groups will have the chance to meet. We continue to be blown away by what you are all doing to defend democracy.
